Curatorial Description:
In He Thought of the Fish, ArNoUx captures a moment of quiet revelation. A figure lies upon a field, their gaze fixed on a small table that holds a fish — a symbol of Christ, of abundance, and of the calling to harvest souls. The fragmented brushwork and vibrant palette evoke a spiritual tension: the turbulence of earthly thoughts clashing with divine inspiration.

Painted on a hexagonal surface, the unique format reinforces the idea of perspective beyond the ordinary frame. Electric reds and raw turquoise ignite the background, while the contemplative face remains half-veiled in mystery. This piece bridges the visceral and the sacred, grounding the spiritual quest in earthly materiality — a hallmark of German Expressionist
